Robert Burns by Patrick Scott Hogg
Following the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns (1759-96), this work explodes the Burns myth, and replaces the ram-stam lad of popular cliche with the real, living Burns - a Scottish patriot of the heart, an idealist who wished for 'Freedom and Liberty' for his beloved country, but also a man who was pragmatically a British patriot.
A lively and insightful commentary.. an excellent volume Morning Star Portrays Scotland's national bard as a sexual ingenu who was inhibited by his strict upbringing ... a radical reappraisal The Times A fascinating account of the poet's life ... a fitting tribute Scottish Home and Country
